Anxiety
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Anxiety tries to convince us that certainty is the only path to safety, leaving us caught in cycles of overthinking, worry, or avoidance of challenging but important life activities. Instead of treating anxiety as the enemy, we'll become curious about what it's trying to accomplish and why it has become so persistent. Together, we'll learn more flexible ways of responding to anxious thoughts and feelings so they no longer dictate your decisions. The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety altogether, but to help you build a life that's guided more by your sense of purpose than by fear.

Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, anxiety is not treated as something to simply “manage” or suppress—it is understood as a meaningful signal shaped by your nervous system, your history, and the environments you’ve had to adapt to. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, therapy begins by helping you understand why your anxiety exists and what it has been trying to protect.
Our approach is grounded in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, chronic worry, panic, or a persistent sense of unease. We work collaboratively to slow these patterns down—helping you recognize triggers, understand the mind-body connection, and build the capacity to respond rather than react. Over time, this creates a greater sense of stability, clarity, and internal safety.
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We integrate a range of approaches—including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and trauma-focused work—while remaining flexible to your needs, pace, and preferences. Tools are offered thoughtfully, not prescriptively, so that therapy feels supportive rather than overwhelming or performative.
Importantly, we recognize that anxiety is often rooted in deeper experiences: trauma, identity-based stress, cultural expectations, loss, or longstanding patterns of self-protection. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes space for these layers. We move beyond surface-level coping into insight—helping you untangle the beliefs, experiences, and relational patterns that keep anxiety in place.
The work is both practical and relational. You will gain tools to navigate moments of distress, but you will also develop a different relationship with yourself—one grounded in self-trust rather than fear. As that shift happens, anxiety often softens, not because it is forced away, but because it is no longer carrying the same burden alone.

Anxiety can take many forms, including daily worry, trouble sleeping, feeling overwhelmed in everyday situations, or panic attacks.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Anxiety and fear often show up as protection—overthinking, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, procrastination, or a constant scanning for what might go wrong. While these strategies can bring short-term relief, they can also shrink our lives over time. In our work, we focus on changing your relationship to anxiety so it becomes something you can understand and work with, rather than something that controls your choices. We don’t dismiss the threat anxiety is responding to; we widen the lens to include what anxiety might be trying to protect—and what it may be inviting you to reclaim.
Together, we seek to slow the pace of the nervous system, identify triggers and patterns, and build practical tools that support emotional regulation and steadier decision-making. We also explore what anxiety may be pointing toward—values, unmet needs, boundaries, or important risks worth taking. The goal isn’t simply to feel less anxious, but to live more freely and move toward what genuinely matters.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety makes us scatter-brained, irritated, annoyed, edgy, overwhelmed, and so much more. We get frustrated with anxiety and we get anxiety about having anxiety. Let's identify the ways anxiety shows up for you and how we can address this. It's not about fixing it or making it go away but rather about learning how to cope with it when it arises. We can actually decrease the intensity over time but we cannot expect it to be "cured." You are enough. You are not your anxiety.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can show up in many ways—persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. Together, we’ll take the time to understand what’s driving these feelings rather than just trying to push them away. By exploring underlying patterns and developing a more grounded relationship to your thoughts and emotions, therapy can help you feel less overwhelmed and more able to move through life with clarity and steadiness.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Anxiety is the mind's way of trying to keep us safe but when it takes over, it can feel like the enemy. Rather than fighting your anxiety, I help you get to know it, which tends to reduce a lot of the internal conflict people are experiencing when they first come to me.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Anxiety is not all bad and is a part of all our lives but when it is excessive or interfering with our life, work, family, and more it is time for help. I can help you identify the reasons you are feeling anxious, what causes anxiety, and teach you ways to eliminate, accept, and overcome those feelings. When you understand the "Why" it makes it easier to face the anxiety.
